Why detoxify? Bodies
that are overloaded with toxins do not function optimally. Toxins can cause your skin can be dull and
lifeless, cause acne, rashes, inflammatory lesions and other skin problems. Toxins accumulate in liver, kidneys, large
intestine, lungs, skin, lymph, blood and
even individual cells. Toxins can cause numerous problems in
the body such as: gas, bloating, constipation, headaches, fatigue, weight gain,
bad breath, body odor, joint pain, poor memory and concentration, and the list goes on. Some specific diseases are even related to
toxic overload. R.A. Buist, M.D. states
that chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivity and fibromyalgia
may be related to toxin exposure (International Clinical Nutrition Reviews 1988,
Vol 8. No 4.) Research has also linked toxin exposure to
liver disease, and some types of cancer and obesity.

A toxin, is “any substance that creates irritating and or
harmful effects in the body, undermining our health or stressing our
biochemical or organ functions” Hass,
M.D. Staying Healthy With Nutrition.
More specifically James E. Williams, in his book Prolonging Health
states that, according to a report published by The EPA, over 7 billion pounds of toxic waste, containing 80,00 different toxins, have been
released into the environment, polluting our food, water and air.

So what do we do? We
detoxify our bodies! Proper detoxification eliminates toxins and provides
building blocks for repair. It’s not
just for your skin. It is for your whole
body!

How to detoxify your body

Detoxifying is easy and there are many ways to do it. The simplest and most gentle approach is to
eat only organic vegetables and drink lots of clean, spring water for a few
days. But here at Integrated Skin Care,
we have the “Total Cleanse” created by James E. Williams, OMD, FAAIM. This is a medically supervised detoxification
program that detoxifies your body on every level. From your large intestine to your cells, this
program detoxifies and restores your body to optimal health. This is a 10 days program that includes an
individualized meal plan, supplements and medical supervision.

Hyperbaric Oxygen for detoxification

Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy significantly increase the oxygen levels in the blood, lymph, cerebrospinal fluid, and blood. This provides an optimal combination to enhance blood oxygen, and tissue perfusion. The enhanced oxygenation and perfusion help the body to remove waste and debris that has been building up. This happens all the way from the cellular level up to organ and skin levels. The enhanced blood and lymph have a greater capacity to do their work with the extra oxygen on board. This is a fantastic way to detoxify!

Acupuncture

Acupuncture can be a gentle, safe and affective tool for detoxification. Your practitioner will stimulate specific points that correspond with body systems that are congested. The acupuncture will open the energy to the systems and allow for the release of toxins. Acupuncture for detoxification is normally accompanied by herbal supplements to support the detoxification process and the organ systems involved. Your practitioner will guide your through this process.

Ionic Foot Bath Detoxification

The health benefits of negative ions are well known, and their unique properties are what makes an ionic foot bath detox so effective. When water is ionized and split into H+ and OH- ions (and sometimes into H3O+ and H2O2 ions), these ions are able to enter the body through the 4,000 large pores of the feet. A detox foot spa offers a way to utilize this opportunity to revitalize and cleanse yourself with all-natural mechanisms.

At this stage, the circulatory and lymphatic systems transport the ions throughout the body. The ions from the foot bath detox neutralize oppositely charged toxins in the cells that are normally slow to exit the body. In this way, all the body's organs can become energized and stimulated to function optimally. The body then rids itself of these toxins through its normal processes of urination, defecation and sweating.

People of any age, sex and background can greatly benefit from this natural cleansing approach, and you'll notice big changes in a very short period of time. A detox foot spa can be your key to a reinvigorated, healthy lifestyle.
